What's new in Measurement Studio—MCC edition |
|
Visual Studio 2005 Support | |
![]() |
Develop Measurement Studio applications in Visual Studio 2005 that fully support version 2.0 of the .NET Framework and MFC 8.0. Take advantage of smart tags to quickly edit controls at design time |
Array User Interface Controls | |
![]() |
Design Windows Forms that include three new Measurement Studio user interface controls, including arrays of LEDs, switches, and numeric edit controls. You can programmatically pass an array of data to these controls to easily update all the individual control elements. |
New User Interface Controls | |
Digital Waveform Graph | |
![]() |
With the digital waveform graph, you can plot digital waveform data. Using the digital waveform graph, you can configure plot labels on the y-axis and construct plot templates to customize plots. You can display the data in sample or time mode, and you can simultaneously display waveforms and signals or display signals only. |
Complex Graph | |
![]() |
With the complex graph, you can plot and chart complex double data consisting of both real and imaginary components. You can configure the graph to contain multiple plots to show separate but related data on the same graph, in addition to including multiple axes with independent ranges so that plot data fits the graph plot area. |
Property Editor | |
![]() |
With the property editor control, you create applications that enable your end users to configure properties for Windows Forms controls at run time. You can edit properties of any .NET type at run time, including collections, and you can edit expandable properties that represent nested properties of another object, such as major divisions of an axis. |
New Analysis Library and Improved Performance | |
More Than 80 New Analysis Methods for .NET | |
![]() |
The Advanced Analysis Library now includes new curve fitting, windowing, linear algebra, signal processing, and special functions.
The new Measurement Studio analysis library provides enhanced performance, with up to 40 percent performance increases for fast Fourier transforms. Additional performance increases include: |
Use of the Intel Math Kernel Library to provide high-performance implementation of linear algebra functionality BLAS/LAPACK algorithms to decrease computation time for linear algebra functions and to provide more accurate results For a complete list of analysis methods, see Measurement Studio Analysis. | |
Enhancements to Existing Measurement Studio .NET Controls | |
Interactive Axis Range Editing | |
![]() |
For the graph and numeric pointer controls, you can interactively change the range of an axis and invert the axis at run time by clicking on the axis end labels. |
Custom Scale Range Fills | |
![]() |
For the numeric pointer controls, you can fill the scale and configure the range, color, dimensions, and style of the fill. |
More Than 100 Percent Improved Charting Performance | |
![]() |
For the graph controls, you now have faster charting performance when you are charting data continuously. |
Additional Measurement Studio Features | |
| |
Seven Managed .NET User Interface Controls | |
![]() |
In addition to the Measurement Studio 7.0 graphs, LEDs, and switches, you now receive seven new extensible .NET controls with Measurement Studio 7.1, including sliders, knobs, gauges, thermometers, tanks, meters, and numeric edit controls. With these controls, you can easily create professional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for your own virtual instruments that look and feel like real-world instrumentation. |
Enhanced Waveform and Scatter Graphs | |
![]() |
The graphs in Measurement Studio 7.1 have added annotation capabilities, increased performance, and cursor and mouse labels. Graph enhancements include: |
| |
Design Time Collection Editors | |
![]() |
Increase your productivity with new Measurement Studio collection editors like the XYAnnotation Editor to quickly create and interactively configure graph annotations for highlighting points or regions of interest on your graphs. You can continue to use collection editors for plots, axes, and cursors. |
Property Window Enhancements | |
![]() |
Quickly configure user interface components at design time from the properties window of Visual Studio .NET. Graphically interact with Measurement Studio 7.1 user interface properties like the start and sweep angle of gauges and caption location. These property window enhancements extend to all Measurement Studio 7.1 controls providing graphical representations of scales, label location, control style, plots, and many more. |
Auto Format Menu | |
![]() |
At design time, you can quickly set the properties of user interface controls to many predefined configurations. The graph auto format menu offers common formats such as histogram, double y-axis, and strip chart. Auto format menus also exist for controls such as gauges and knobs. |
Instrument Driver .NET Wizard | |
![]() |
In seconds, the integrated Instrument Driver .NET Wizard converts existing IVI, VXIplug&play, and legacy instrument drivers into Visual Basic .NET or C# .NET source code. Incorporate your existing instrument drivers into your .NET application without rewriting all of your existing instrument drivers to work with .NET. |
